The latest update is out from Kerry Group plc ( (GB:KYGA) ).
Kerry Group plc has continued its previously announced share buyback programme with the purchase of 25,770 A ordinary shares on Euronext Dublin on 9 March 2026, at prices ranging between €69.70 and €70.10 and a volume-weighted average price of €69.8585. The purchased shares, acquired from intermediary J&E Davy, will be cancelled as part of a wider plan to repurchase up to €300 million of stock by the end of 2026, reducing the number of shares in issue to 160,212,653 and potentially enhancing earnings per share and capital efficiency for investors.
The transaction underscores Kerry’s ongoing capital-allocation strategy, signalling confidence in its balance sheet and future cash generation while returning excess capital to shareholders. By shrinking its share base through cancellations rather than holding the stock in treasury, the company may improve per-share metrics and strengthen its market positioning, though the programme’s full impact will depend on execution over the remainder of the planned €300 million buyback period.
